Damn man, I hate playing the parent card (as much as I hate people playing the woman card), but 22 weeks is insane. Its a full on person at that point. Look at the devastation that parents go through when they lose children at that point. (Heck, for a relevent example, look at what Evander Kane went through at just 26 weeks). The kid is starting to kick and punch around.

That and even further late term abortions is exactly why people are starting to push for even early cutoffs given these late term abortions (again, non-medical) are insanity in my view.
This is 22 weeks.

The reason that pro-choice always opposes limits is that the limits aren’t being suggested in good faith like they are in this thread. The next step is limiting access to abortions to run out the clock.
So before you put a cap on when abortions can occur you need to fix health care, access, funding, birth control and sex Ed. One you arm people with the ability to make a decision early you eliminate the need for non-medically necessary late term abortions.
